From The Horse's Own Mouth Again:
Dixit our Prime Douchebag (emphasis added):
No truer words, indeed ...
So just this once, let us act according to our Mini leader's wise advice - and vote NOT CPC.
Remember: tomorrow's decision will influence our future - just like our wrongheaded decision back in 2006 in electing a Harper minority government has demonstrated the point.
"Think about it on Tuesday," said Harper at a Quebec City rally that was smaller than expected. "The decision you'll take will influence your future for years to come."No truer words were ever spoken by a lying, fearmongering, obfuscating, theocon/neocon incompetent.

Some very pointed reminders of what a future with Harper at the helm entails. I'm really hoping the polls and the extremely compromised press get it wrong. Harper has threatened to resign if he doesn't win and that's the best motivation to vote against him. He is an aberration in our political landscape and belongs in the US.
Hiya BY -
"He is an aberration in our political landscape and belongs in the US."
E-x-a-c-t-l-y!
I would add - more specifically, he belongs in the so-called "Bible belt" ;-)
You mention that the rally was smaller than expected. What about the rally in Orillia on Saturday that attracted only 50.
Only 50 on a Saturday afternoon! On a holiday weekend, no less!
And, I'm guessing here, it was by invitation?
Talk about declining fortunes.
Heh ;-)
Strategic voting should have an entirely different meaning in elections now with the new financing laws. Where each party gets annual funding from the federal government based on the number of votes cast in the last election, every vote counts.
By accumulating votes, even in ridings where there is no hope of winning, Green Party and NDP supporters can ensure the future institutional capacity of their party to launch future elections and maintain a national standing and presence.
By accumulating only 1000 votes in every riding, the party would receive funding of more than $300,000 per year. This is substantial and could mean future success.
Strategic voting for the NDP and Greens means looking to the long term ... not just this election.

Interesting - and good - point there!
